Carousel Creamery is a neighborhood dessert parlour\u00a0boasting 101\u00a0classic and whimsical flavors of premium handcrafted ice cream<\/strong>, made in small batches. Customers can enjoy scoops (single, double or triple), a sampler plate of 5 or even takeaway pint-sized tubs. It’s for<\/strong>\u00a0families and friends who want to catch up and bond over ice cream. It’s not for<\/strong> diabetics or foodies who need to cut down on sugar. If you’re adventurous, we recommend<\/strong> the Beer & Chicharon, Wasabi, Red Pepper Walnut and more.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Ask the servers for the ingredients list, especially for those with nut allergies. P.S. Free taste all the flavors you want, don’t tell them we told you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

House of Wagyu is a fine dining restaurant that specializes in graded Wagyu steaks<\/strong> imported from Australia to be cooked on hot stone grills. It’s for<\/strong> special date nights. It’s not for<\/strong>\u00a0a kid’s birthday celebration. We recommend<\/strong> their premium rib eye grade 8 steak, grilled prawns and desserts. Our insider tip: <\/strong>Don’t forget to wear your ‘House of Wagyu’ aprons to avoid getting splats on your clothes. P.S. It’s one of Piolo Pascual’s\u00a0favorite restaurants in the metro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Greeka Kouzina is a Greek-inspired restaurant<\/strong> known for their appetizing\u00a0food, generous servings, and Mediterranean-inspired interiors.\u00a0News of their first branch opening in the dark tucked-away P. Guevarra street in San Juan had people waiting in line\u00a0for hours just to try it. It\u2019s for <\/strong>people with big appetites as each dish comes with filling sides. It\u2019s not<\/strong> for people who prefer\u00a0single servings or solo\u00a0dining.\u00a0We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>the Fig Roka Salata, Arni Lemonato \u2013 Roast Lamb and the\u00a0Psari Plaki \u2013 Dory. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Come in a big group to have a taste of everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tuan Tuan, which means \u2018to put together\u2019, best describes the restaurant\u2019s goal of putting together the best of Hong Kong comfort food<\/strong> in a French brasserie setting. It is a homegrown concept from the Lugang group. It\u2019s for<\/strong> casual but fancy and affordable lunches or dinners.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for dim sum and pastries. We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0the US Premium Beef Rib and Tendon Curry, Braised Ox Tongue, Pork Snow\u00a0Buns, and Salted Egg Custard Snow Buns. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t go mild on your Laksa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sodam is an authentic Korean buffet<\/strong>\u00a0best known for its all-you-can-eat\u00a0grilled meat dishes and other cuisine\u00a0staples. It’s for<\/strong> families and friends\u00a0with huge appetites. It’s not for<\/strong> romantic date nights. We recommend<\/strong> their Samgyupsal, Japchae, and Haemul Pajeon. Our insider tip<\/strong>:\u00a0Be ready to smell like grilled meat after!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tomo Japanese Dining is an authentic\u00a0Japanese <\/strong>restaurant serving classic dishes in an offbeat refurbished house with modern,\u00a0minimalist Japanese interiors. It’s for<\/strong>\u00a0people who are fans of\u00a0Sugi Japanese Restaurant, the\u00a0same\u00a0Chef heads the kitchen here. It’s not for<\/strong>\u00a0Little Tokyo loyalists. We recommend<\/strong> the Australian Wagyu Steak, Kari Kari Kari Yaki oysters, Mackerel sashimi, and their aburi sushi. Our insider tip<\/strong>: No need to worry about parking because they have lots of space. Read our full feature here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hai Chix & Steaks is a dining concept\u00a0where East meets West. It is an\u00a0Asian fusion<\/strong> restaurant\u00a0specializing in steaks and Hainanese chicken.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0everyone\u00a0craving some Asian and American specialties\u00a0without having to visit 2 different restaurants. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0vegetarians.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> their bestselling U.S. Angus Ribeye and the\u00a0Hainanese Chicken Rice.\u00a0Our insider tip: <\/strong>Have\u00a0your steaks cooked medium. P.S. It recently opened a third branch in Salcedo Village.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First gaining traction in its Rockwell branch, Refinery is a third\u00a0wave cafe\u00a0that serves all-day breakfast and brunch<\/strong> items, international comfort food\u00a0and specialty coffee\u2013but what sets it apart is that it also serves wine and cocktails. It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0ladies who brunch in the area; it\u2019s also\u00a0a solid working spot.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0those who want quick and\u00a0cheap breakfast.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Honey and Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Bread Pudding, Shirred Truffled Eggs, Angry Pasta and Orange-Infused Cappuccino. Our insider tip<\/strong>: Unlike their Rockwell branch, the Greenhills location is open until 1am.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All the way from Tokyo, Dohtonbori\u00a0is Japan\u2019s #1 okonomiyaki<\/strong> restaurant chain that offers the first cook-your-own okonomiyaki experience in Manila. This is its first branch\u00a0in the Philippines. It\u2019s for<\/strong> foodies who enjoy DIY meals, but don’t worry as the\u00a0servers can also cook for you. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who prefer American-style pancakes.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the Deluxe Okonomiyaki, Four-Cheese and Dohtonbori pizzas, and their premium yakiniku. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Skip the queue, you can book a table through\u00a0Booky at their Greenhills and SM North<\/a> branches!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WAFU is a modern\u00a0Japanese<\/strong> restaurant that speaks of class and elegance from interiors down to food. It’s helmed by the new executive chef,\u00a0Chef Nobuyoshi Onishii, former Sushi Master from the renowned Midori Sushi in Japan. It’s for<\/strong> intimate gatherings or relaxing catch-up sessions with your family and friends. It’s not for<\/strong> those looking for quality\u00a0Japanese food on a tight budget. We recommend<\/strong> the U.S. Flat Iron Steak, Sukiyaki Cut Beef, and Oyster Teppan. Our insider tip<\/strong>: Check out their Php999 promo, where you are given 2\u00a0hours to enjoy teppan-all-you-can at\u00a0their teppanyaki stations\u00a0on the second floor. Book ahead as there are limited slots per seating time. See more photos here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
